But none of that matters right now. The important thing is that we only have eight minutes left before we go on stage.
Luo Xikui frowned at the alarm clock, put down the violin, and strode out the door to borrow it from the hotel manager.
Five-star hotels like these usually have live music performances in their restaurants, and violins are generally a standard feature.
Time was very tight. She borrowed the piano and returned, and the emcee on stage had already called her name.
She hadn't even regulated her breathing yet, so she could only take a deep breath to suppress her chaotic breathing before walking onto the stage with her violin.
As the lights in the banquet hall dimmed, she stood in the center of the stage, rested the violin on her shoulder, gently touched the strings with the bow, closed her eyes, and slowly began to play. The melodious music flowed out like water.
Because it wasn't a very good violin, she didn't play smoothly at first, but she used her excellent technique to cover up her unfamiliarity with the violin and finally played the climax without any flaws.
At this moment, she opened her eyes and looked at the people sitting below the stage. She wanted to see who was waiting to see her violin string break and enjoy the show.
When her gaze swept over Xin Chun in the first row, she paused slightly, then closed her eyes and immersed herself in the music once again.
Xin Chun looked at Luo Xikui on the stage, but the moment she had been waiting for had not yet arrived, and her brows furrowed involuntarily.
Just as I was wondering what was going on, the music ended, the lights in the hall came on, and applause erupted.
Luo Xikui bowed to the audience, glanced at Xin Chun, and then gracefully walked off the stage.
She walked over to her parents, whispered a few words to them, and then went to the Xu family's table next to her.
Xu Ziyu had already arranged for someone to add a seat at his table, so Luo Xikui went over and sat down.
"Why was your face so red when you went on stage?" Xu Ziyu noticed this very carefully and leaned closer to ask in a soft voice.
"There was a small mishap, we'll talk about it later." Luo Xikui gestured for Xu Ziyu to look at the stage, and the auction officially began.
Actually, what's being filmed at these kinds of banquets isn't the point; the point is that good deeds are being done. For many celebrities and businesses, it's an opportunity to enhance their reputation.
After several rounds, the bidding price kept getting higher and higher.
When she finally got Luo Xikui's violin, she never expected it would eventually sell for a million.
The piano for beginners is actually worth only five thousand. She originally thought that with her name attached, it would be worth at most one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand.
As a result, her father and Ayu kept raising the price, which aroused the interest of others, who also started raising the price, and the auction price soared.
"Ayu, maybe we should just forget about it." Luo Xikui took Xu Ziyu's hand under the table, shook it gently, and whispered, since her dad would take care of getting it back anyway.
"It's about doing good deeds," Xu Ziyu said with a faint smile, continuing to hold up the sign.
Luo Xikui wasn't that she was stingy with money, but she felt bad that he was spending so much money before they were even officially married.
However, seeing that he actually won the violin back for me in the end, I felt a sweet warmth in my heart.
The highest-priced item sold tonight was her violin. The emcee even jokingly mentioned her relationship with Xu Ziyu, and said joyfully, "Let's give a warm round of applause to congratulate this kind-hearted couple!"
Xu Ziyu held Luo Xikui's hand and smiled in response to the blessings.
After the auction, there was a dance party, and Xu Ziyu and Luo Xikui naturally became the first couple to dance.
The two were like a perfect couple, gracefully dancing the waltz on the dance floor.
"Mrs. Xu, you are truly blessed. This prospective daughter-in-law is one in a million. You won't find a girl more outstanding than her in the entire Yihai City," said a wealthy woman who had some connection with Ni Sitian.
“That’s also because her son is so outstanding,” another lady remarked.
Ni Sitian took Xu Tingchuan's arm and smiled as she looked at her son and future daughter-in-law.
